Me 0, Big Ass Burrito 1

There are not too many big eats in Denver but this is one: 7 pound breakfast burrito at Jack-n-Grill. Yesterday - with T-Bonz, the scale, and the camera - I went to check it out.

Females who finish it get free food at Jack-n-Grill for life. Males get TWO things: JACK and SQUAT.

Before going inside, me:


We ordered. T, a combo plate. Me, the grande:


The burrito is stuffed with potatoes, eggs, onions, and ham bits. Lots of cheese on top. Smothered in green chile or red. I got the pork green chile. Note: maybe 6lbs potatoes, .9lbs cheese, .09lbs eggs & onions, .01lbs ham bits.

Here it is compared to a combination plate:


The dish it came in was maybe 18" x 5" and deep. The two big tortillas did not go all around it but they sort of hooded the sides and top.



The burrito was steaming hot for about the first twenty minutes or so.



For the first half of it or so it was very delicious. The pork green chile is very very good. Trade out bacon for the ham and this thing would kick ass.



I kept eating.



And eating..



And eating...



I think this was the point:



Waving the white flag:




What was left:


I separated it into a pound on the left and a pound on the right. Maybe - MAYBE - I could have stuffed one side in me, but not both sides.



When I weighed in after, as expected up 5:


The stomach bulge is usually a bit lower. It was riding high then:


Next time: 1. Get bacon. 2. No Coke. 3. Do not eat breakfast first.

Here is a link to the full slideshow of photos.

More to follow. Video. Loud guy.

What's up with the potatoes? Potatoes suck. They don't belong in burritos.

That thing is huge but, I hate to say, not very appetising. Needs a little sour cream for me.
How much did it cost?

Hi Andrew!

We're the creators of thisiswhyyourefat.com. As you may know, we featured this on our site and it became an instant fave!

We are currently writing the book version of our site for Harper Collins and would like to feature your amazing Giant Burrito images and recipe with credit given to you.

Is this something we could get your okay on?

All contributors to the book will be named in the book and have their creations in print, and it will likely bring even more attention to your blog/Flickr and you'll reap the benefits our book marketing efforts :)

We would love for images to be as hi-res as possible, so if you’d like to be a part of the book, could you send us images as large as possible, as close to 350 dpi as possible? That and a recipe/ingredient list would be amazing!

Would LOVE to have this awesome thing in there – thanks ahead of time for all your cooperation.

Talk soon!

Jessica Amason & Richard Blakeley
